NOTE
If your appliance is placed with the door
hinge side against a wall, you may have
to allow additional space for the handle
so the door can be opened wider.
This Use & Care Manual provides general
operating instructions for your model. Use
the appliance only as instructed in this Use
& Care Manual. Before starting the appli-
ance, follow these important first steps.

Guidelines for final positioning of
your appliance:
• All 4 corners of the cabinet must rest
firmly on the floor.

NOTE
It is
VERY IMPORTANT
for your appli-
ance to be level in order to function
properly. If the unit is not leveled during
installation, the door may be misaligned
and not close or seal properly, causing
cooling, frost or moisture problems.
Leveling
The appliance must have all bottom
corners resting firmly on a solid floor. The
floor must be strong enough to support a
fully loaded unit.
To level:
Adjust the bottom feet by
turning counterclockwise to shorten and
clockwise to lengthen. Use a carpenter’s
level to level the appliance from front to
back. Adjust the leveling feet in front,
½
bubble higher, so the door closes easily.
